Hi, Many thanks for your invaluable advice that I was able to finally get courier authlib compiled and installed. I hope there is an easier and less painful way, but what you adviced is the surest thing to get it working. The crux of the matter here is to probably upgrade the linker i.e the ld to GNU ld version 2.17 which has a fix for problem. Since the sun distributed GCC uses the non GNU ld, we have no choice but to rebuild gcc in order to use the new ld here. Ouch !!
And just make make sure to tell courier authlib and courier imap to use the new GCC and we are mostly set. Once again , many thanks and am glad that I used this mailing lists.
